Haha, I feel your pain—boiler issues can really test your patience. Last year I spent days convinced I had a leak, only to realize the pressure relief valve was quietly dripping outside. Glad you got yours sorted, it's always a relief when the mystery's solved.

Yeah, pressure relief valves can be sneaky, but honestly, most boiler issues aren't that mysterious once you know what you're looking at. Usually, it's something straightforward like air trapped in the system or a worn-out seal. People tend to overthink it and jump straight to worst-case scenarios (like leaks hidden in walls...). A quick check of the basics first saves a lot of headaches later. Glad you sorted yours though—always satisfying when it's simpler than expected.

True, but I've had a few boilers where the "simple" fix wasn't so obvious. Had one last year that seemed basic—ended up being corrosion inside the heat exchanger. Sometimes it really is the tricky stuff...

Yeah, corrosion can sneak up on you for sure. Had a similar issue myself—thought it was air pockets at first, but nope, rust buildup inside. Glad you got yours sorted, boilers can really test your patience sometimes...

Yeah, boilers can be sneaky like that. I spent a whole weekend chasing down what I thought was a pressure issue—turns out the previous owner used some sketchy fittings that slowly corroded from the inside. Lesson learned, always double-check what's lurking behind the walls...
